Making Gift Baskets for Events

Image
Our church does a silent auction in the spring and I love that I can donate to a good cause and share about my oily business. I have also donated items to teacher appreciation events.  Here is the adorable metal basket I found at Hobby Lobby ON SALE!! I went in planning on using my 40% coupon on a basket but half off is even better, and I used my coupon on something else!  This basket is shallow with two birds perched in one corner. I love it and want to go back and get myself one.  I bought an inexpensive but large capacity diffuser from Amazon. I have the box with the cord and directions that I will send home with the winning bidder. The basket looks much nicer without it though.  Next, I added a hand crocheted cotton cloth. I make these all the time because  I can't sit still. I have to always be doing something. Which means I have a few hanging around the house. It looks special with the ribbon band around it.  I recycled a T...

Spring Diffuser Blends

Spring is time for some fresh clean light scents for the diffuser! Anything you put in your diffuser and you love could just as easily become a room spray. So think of your diffuser experiments as future room spray favorites.  My # 1 favorite blend:  I discovered this one by accident when making a recipe for a spray for my kids before they went hiking. It was to keep the creepy, crawly, bitey creatures away. It smelled so amazing! We use this on the dog too.  This next one is my preferred night time blend. It can be sprayed on pillows for a restful sleep and dropped into a bath to aid relaxation. Diffuse for relaxation or sleep.  Sage has a wonderful fresh smell!  Another orange option. I like orange! My newest diffuser. I really like it! I wanted something like my aria for my sewing room/office. 

Young Living Mountain Mist Deodorant

Product Review Have you been looking for a safer, healthier deodorant? I have. Being a DIY girl I tried making my own but found the ones that had the consistency I liked had so much baking soda my skin broke out. I can say that armpits are a sensitive area and it really can make you miserable if they are sore, broken out, or rash covered!  I read a post from one of my upline that they use the Young Living Deodorant at night to help flush toxins! That was what made me go ahead and order the AromaGuard Mountain Mist Deodorant. One thing I love about Young Living is the full disclosure. You can read every ingredient right on the website.  I have been using it a month now, and I really like it! It smells nice, goes on smoothly, and works! It does feel a tad wet when first applied, but I had no skin reaction at all!  I have officially switched and will be trying the other scent soon.  I can't really speak to the toxin flush, but I know the ingredients all...
